Amanda - you must be joking! Nutritional supplements cannot be patented. That means you must compete with EVERYONE marketing them(your language, "peddling")and become subject to the laws of economics. You CANNOT make 10,000% profit on a nutrient, but Big Pharma can, and does on some drugs.

The pharmaceuticals have been guilty of immense graft and corruption, unlike the supplement manufacturers. Prescription meds are a MAJOR cause of death, again unlike supplements.

Oh, and anyone who believes that the message of nutrient-deficient foods is a con is themselves demonstrating their ignorance of modern farming methods and studies showing the nutrient content of "conventional" v. organic farming.
